Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with the claimant's complaint that he was entitled to be paid a statutory redundancy payment. It recorded that section 155 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires at least two years' service to qualify for a redundancy payment, and found that Mr Russell had been employed by the respondent for less than two years. On that basis, the tribunal concluded that he was not entitled to a redundancy payment.
The tribunal also recorded that the claimant had been given an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out, but he did not give an acceptable reason. The complaint that he was entitled to be paid a statutory redundancy payment was therefore struck out. The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints were not affected.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
